What is mild traumatic brain injury?
The term “mild traumatic brain injury” is used to describe an injury to the brain, caused by relatively mild trauma. The effects of such an injury may not include incontinence, coma or physical problems, but so-called “mild” cognitive impairments can still cause significant disruptions of personal or family life, or total disability from competitive employment. Not every concussion or traumatic brain injury causes significant disruption of a person’s life, or total disability from competitive employment, but in those circumstances where it does, it is real.
